Mists of Pandaria has new titles, rewards from everything from completing raid achievements to collecting pets! We've listed all the new titles below and their sources Don't forget, with account-wide titles now, many if not all of these will be account-wide in Mists!

Today's preview covers the Druid class! We've got a ton of things to share in this preview, including 3D models for all specs and fur colors, and screenshots of all the vanity glyphs. We also have the usual breakdown of changed class abilities, a visual preview of the new PvE and PvP tier sets, and an updated table for all the ability swaps. For those wondering what , the new level 87 ability actually does--the Druid casts it on a fellow player, and based on the class and spec, the Druid and player each get a new ability!

Armor Sets

Today's Mists of Pandaria class feature covers Warriors. We have previews of all the new armor sets as well as screenshots of vanity glyphs and a list of ability changes! New abilities include , and level 90 talents are Avatar, Bloodbath, and Storm Bolt.

Also, if you like reading up on class changes, Ghostcrawler joined twitter yesterday. So far, nothing new, but his feed is quickly turning into another Beta Class Analysis thread with clarifications on achievements and abilities.

Armor Sets

We continue our Mists of Pandaria class previews with a look at Rogues today. Blizzard has stated in the past that they are quite happy with Rogue core mechanics, resources, and niche specialties, but there are still some interesting changes. Most notably, poisons have been extensively reworked and rogues bring more raid buffs than in the past.

There was a very minor beta patch today, so we've put the spell changes under the cut!

Armor Sets

Today's class preview covers Hunters in Mists of Pandaria. Besides new abilities and talents, we'll take a look at the new pet classes Hunters can tame. In addition, Hunter Challenge Mode and PvP gear looks completely different since the first time we previewed it.

Now that 5.0.4 is live and players have had time to try out the new abilities, there's been many blue posts over the long weekend clarifying class mechanics and procs for abilities, weapons, and trinkets. You may also have noticed that some long cooldowns in 5.0.4 reset between raid encounters like Rebirth: there are plans to have even more 5+ minute cooldowns function this same way.

Raid Cooldowns

Most long-term cooldowns are not reset when a raid encounter ends. The ones we specifically wanted to hit were the battle rezes and the big, raid-wide cooldowns like Bloodlust and . The question we asked ourselves was: would a reasonable, progression-oriented but not world-first guild delay their next pull by several minutes to wait for X to come off of cooldo

There's a beta patch today for MIsts of Pandaria, but it's a small patch so we're going to post our mage class preview as well!

Hit the break to see the spell differences, and read today's class preview first! For today's class preview, we'll look at Mages. Each of the three iconic playstyles has undergone changes, opening up signature abilities to all specs. There's also a bunch of quirky minor glyphs, including one that summons elemental pets.

Armor Sets

Today's class preview covers Death Knight. Tier armor was changed slightly since we last previewed it, and there are several mechanics changes and additions, such as a 1 sec base GCD and Soul Reaper. There are also some fun cosmetic glyphs and Corpse Explosion is back.

We continue our Mists of Pandaria class previews with a look at Warlocks today. Warlocks were not the most popular class in Cataclysm and Blizzard has made a ton of changes--from abilities to awesome new spell graphics--to entice players back. We have armor previews of PvE and PvP gear, summarizes of the new ability resources for each spec, a look at the new warlock pets, and screenshots of new spell effects. And be sure to check out our updated talent calculator which displays all specialization abilities and glyph choices!
